University of Sonora Confirms TB Case, Keeps Classes In Person Under Targeted Protocol

The approach reflects tuberculosis’ need for prolonged close exposure for transmission.

Overview

  • About 40 law classmates identified as close contacts will receive a clinical survey to determine if lab testing is needed.
  • Instruction continues on campus, and officials will ensure the affected student can complete studies.
  • A coordinating table with the Health Secretariat is in place, classrooms are being ventilated, and an information module was opened at the Law faculty.
  • Broad mask use is not required, with masking limited to direct contacts who are not yet under treatment.
  • If a second case is detected, the university will consider restricting spaces and shifting some instruction to virtual delivery; separately, the Instituto Tecnológico de Hermosillo reported an isolated treated case with no class suspension.
